Punjab-Haryana Water Disupte: Saini Calls for Calm After Mann Challenges Bhakra Beas Board Directive

The Punjab-Haryana water dispute has reached a boiling point as Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann refuses to release 8,500 cusecs of water to Haryana, defying the Bhakra Beas Management Board’s directive. Citing dangerously low water levels in reservoirs and the looming paddy sowing season, Mann slammed the BBMB, saying Punjab is struggling to meet its own agricultural and drinking water demands. In response, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini has issued a public appeal for peace and cooperation, emphasizing a unified resolution passed during an all-party meeting that Punjab must comply with BBMB’s order. The standoff intensifies decades of friction over Ravi-Beas river water, reviving concerns around inter-state water management, groundwater depletion, and political pressure ahead of critical sowing periods.#PunjabHaryanaWaterDispute #BhakraBeasManagementBoard #WaterSharingConflict #PunjabWaterCrisis #HaryanaWaterDemand #WaterShortageIndia #NayabSinghSaini #BhagwantMann #toibharat
